Bruno Armirail
« I honoured my jersey »
«The time trial was difficult, there was a lot of wind. We were being blown from right to left, but we had to hold on to our bikes and push hard on the pedals. I started fast because there was a headwind at the start and then a crosswind. In terms of power, I had a very decent time trial, I couldn't have done much better today. I'm happy to be in the top 10, I did my French time trial champion jersey proud.»
